Saturday is SKYLANDERS DAY at Game Stop Stores

If your kids enjoy playing Activision's Skylanders video games as much as mine do or your family is interested in trying out these toy-to-life games for the first time you are going to want to swing by a Game Stop store on Saturday, January 9. There will be some great deals and savings to be had as Activision brings in the new year with a bang kicking off 2016 with an exclusive "Skylanders Day" at Game Stop.

This Saturday, January 9th participating Game Stop locations across the United States will allow Portal Masters to take advantage of some amazing Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) deals on Skylander products. Pickup the recently released Skylanders SuperChargers starter pack for only $39.99 (or the Dark Edition for $59.99) and received an additional Skylanders starter pack from a previous edition of the gaming franchise (Skylanders Swap Force, Skylanders Trap Team or Skylanders Giants) for FREE! Also Skylanders SuperChargers characters and vehicles are BOGO during this special event.

Skylanders SuperChargers is also releasing a new character, Birthday Bash Big Bubble Pop Fizz to celebrate the video game franchise's 5th birthday in 2016. Keep an eye out as this figure who sets a record for having the longest Skylander character name is just beginning to appear on store shelves.

It is customary tradition at the Skylanders Academy for all of the
Skylanders to gather around and sing the birthday song to the guest of
honor. For fun, any Skylanders that arrives late must sing the birthday
song
solo in front of the entire Academy. But rather than seeing this as an
embarrassment, Pop Fizz continues to see this as an opportunity to show
off his new Big Bubble party instruments, and so he arrives late every
time.
